Danny Kruger’s Unshakable Faith and Its Influence on Modern Politics
What we’re seeing right now with Danny Kruger is a rare moment in contemporary politics—a sitting MP openly grounding his political worldview in his Christian faith and speaking about it with remarkable clarity. His recent interviews have really highlighted how deeply his beliefs shape not just his personal life, but also his approach to the biggest moral and cultural debates happening in Britain today.
Kruger often explains that he didn’t grow up in a religious household. In fact, he describes his upbringing as entirely atheistic. But by the time he reached his mid-twenties, he found himself slowly identifying as a “cultural Christian,” drawn to the values and historical importance of Christianity in shaping British civilisation. That early spark, however, didn’t fully ignite until he met Emma, the woman who would become his wife. Through her encouragement—and especially through reading Christian works like C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity —he came to the conclusion that Christianity wasn’t just meaningful, but true.

Once he embraced evangelical Christianity, Kruger says he felt completely changed. He talks about gaining peace and purpose, along with an interesting balance—feeling both smaller and bigger at the same time. As he puts it, he carried less pride, but more confidence. That inner shift has carried over into how he understands society, morality, and the role of government.
For Kruger, Christianity isn’t just a private conviction; he sees it as the foundation of Western civilisation, the framework through which social and civic conflicts can be reconciled. He has often lamented what he views as Britain’s drift away from its Christian heritage and argues that many of today’s crises could be addressed by bringing those values back into public life. This view has driven some of his most passionate parliamentary moments, including his maiden Commons speech in 2020 defending Britain’s Christian foundations.
His faith also shapes his positions on several of the most sensitive issues in modern politics. He has firmly opposed assisted-suicide legislation, calling it a fundamentally moral matter. He has spoken out strongly against abortion expansions, including pills-by-post and proposals to decriminalise abortion up to birth. And when asked about how he would respond if a family member identified as transgender, Kruger stressed compassion while still maintaining that endorsing the idea of being “born in the wrong body” would, in his view, be a mistake.
What stands out most in his recent remarks, though, is his confidence in the future of Christianity. Kruger believes a quiet revival is already underway. He points to rising church attendance and an increasing number of young people showing interest in faith. In his words, the Gospel “will never be extinguished,” because truth ultimately endures.
Whether one agrees with him or not, Kruger clearly stands as one of the most forthright Christian voices in UK politics today—someone who sees faith not as an outdated relic, but as a living force capable of shaping a nation’s future.
